The Mauka Man’s “mauka” has finally arrived after Pakistan easily defeated India in the T20 World Cup opening game. It was an extremely long wait for the Pakistan National Cricket team to defeat India in a World Cup game and it came to an end at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. Not only did the Babar and team defeat India but they dominated the match right from the start of their bowling innings and after that, they batted extremely well and didn’t give India a chance to fight back
“Mauka Man”, the emblematic character in the Star Sports Ad, was shown eagerly waiting for Pakistan to defeat India in a World Cup game since the 1992 World Cup but was left heartbroken every single time. However, as Pakistan defeated India for the first time in the World Cup in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 the “Mauka Man” was shown bursting firecrackers in happiness.
With the Babar Azam-led Pakistan finally winning over India in a World Cup encounter, this could even possibly be the last advertisement of the famous “Mauka Mauka” series which is featured on star sports . The video of this small clip in which this protagonist could be seen happily celebrating Pakistan’s win was shared on the broadcasters Star Sports social media with the caption written as, “Well Played Pakistan.”
